If you want to become a licensed attorney in Nevada, or if you're applying for limited practice certification under SCR 49.1, you have to get fingerprinted as part of your application. The state bar sets the rules for how this works and gives you the forms you need to use.
This fingerprinting requirement is not optional. It's a standard part of applying to practice law in the state. The purpose is to let the state bar run background checks on people who want to become lawyers, so they can look into an applicant's history before granting a law license.
If you're going through this application process, expect fingerprinting to be one of the steps. You should reach out to the state bar directly to find out exactly how to get fingerprinted and which forms to fill out, since they control the specific process.
